On Monday, 13.12.2011 a recent SERI study was presented at a press conference. The aim of this study was to enable a serious comparison between the environmental sustainability of dry soy products and meat. Starting point is the high level of meat consumption in the industrialized countries which makes a significant contribution to the climate change. Various environmental indicators for soy granule have been calculated. Such as renewable and nonrenewable resources, land and water consumption and CO2 emissions.
The result: meat cannot keep up, compared to soy dry products. The replacement of ground meat with soy granules allows a GHG reduction of 90 percent!
For detailed information, please click here and here (german).
Where in the study does it say that the replacement of ground meat with soy granules allows a GHG reduction of 90 percent? I downloaded the pdf and nowhere in the document is there a comparison with meat. Can you please direct me to the study that draws a comparison between the two?
